It connects to the PC either by means of a third-party ATA adapter board, or by plugging a cable from the drive directly into a PC motherboard that supplies a ATA interface.
Chapter 3 Installation This chapter explains how to unpack, configure, mount, and connect the Maxtor DiamondMax 17 80-160GB AT hard disk drive prior to operation. It also explains how to start up, format, and operate the drive. 3.1 SPACE REQUIREMENTS Figure 3-1 shows the external dimensions of the DiamondMax 17 80-160GB AT hard disk drive. For more information, please refer to Chapter 4 for detailed product specifications.
Installation 3.2 UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: The maximum limits for physical shock can be exceeded if the drive is not handled properly. Special care should be taken not to bump or drop the drive. It is highly recommended that the DiamondMax 17 80-160GB AT hard drives are not stacked or placed on any hard surface after they are unpacked. Such handling could and will cause media damage.
Installation Figure 3-2 shows the shipping container for a 20 pack of DiamondMax 17 80-160GB AT hard disk drives.
Installation 3.3 HARDWARE OPTIONS 3.3.1 ATA Interface Connector The configuration of a DiamondMax 17 80-160GB AT hard disk drive depends on the host system in which it is to be installed. This section describes the hardware options that you must take into account prior to installation.
Installation The configuration of the following three jumpers controls the drive’s five modes of operation: – CS – Cable Select – DS – Drive Select – CLJ– Cylinder Limitation Jumper The AT PCB has two jumper locations provided to configure the drive in a system. The default configuration for the drive as shipped from the factory is with a jumper across the CS location, and open positions in the DS and CLJ positions.
Installation 3.3.1.1 Cable Select (CS) Jumper When a DiamondMax 17 80-160GB AT hard disk drive and another ATA hard disk drive are daisy-chained together, they can be configured as Master or Slave either by the CS or DS jumpers. To configure the drive as a Master or Slave with the CS feature, the CS jumper is installed (1). The drive's position on the 80 conductor Ultra ATA data cable then determines whether the drive is a Master (Device 0) or a Slave (Device 1).
Installation 3.3.1.4 Cylinder Limitation Jumper (CLJ) For user capacities below 66,055,248 sectors (32GB), inserting the CLJ jumper limits the Number of Cylinders field 1 to a value of 16,383, as reported in IDENTIFY DEVICE data word. This allows software drivers to determine that the actual capacity is larger than indicated by the maximum CHS, requiring LBA addressing to use the full capacity.
Installation 3.3.2.1 40-Pin ATA Bus Connector Most PC motherboards have a built-in 40-pin ATA bus connector that is compatible with the 40-pin ATA interface of the DiamondMax 17 80-160GB AT hard disk drives. If the motherboard has an ATA connector, simply connect a 40-pin ribbon cable between the drive and the motherboard. You should also refer to the motherboard instruction manual to ensure signal compatibility. 3.3.2.
Installation 3.4 ATA BUS INTERFACE CONNECTOR (J1, SECTION C) J1 is a three-in-one combination connector. The drive’s DC power can be applied to section A. The ATA bus interface (40-pin) uses section C. The connector is mounted on the back edge of the printed-circuit board (PCB), as shown in Figure 3-5.
Installation 3.4.2 External Drive Activity LED An external drive activity LED may be connected to the DASP-I/O pin 39 on J1. For more details, see the pin description in Table 5-1. 3.4.3 ATA Bus Interface Connector (J1, Section C) On the DiamondMax 17 80-160GB AT hard disk drives, the ATA bus interface cable connector (J1, section C) is a 40-pin Universal Header, as shown in Figure 3-5. To prevent the possibility of incorrect installation, the connector has been keyed by removing Pin 20.
Installation 3.5 MOUNTING 3.5.1 Orientation The mounting holes on the DiamondMax 17 80-160GB AT hard disk drives allow the drive to be mounted in any orientation. Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-6 show the location of the three mounting holes on each side of the drive. The drive can also be mounted using the four mounting hole locations on the PCB side of the drive.
Installation Figure 3-7 Mounting Screw Clearance CAUTION: 3-12 The PCB is very close to the mounting holes. Do not exceed the specified length for the mounting screws. The specified screw length allows full use of the mounting hole threads, while avoiding damaging or placing unwanted stress on the PCB. Figure 3-7 specifies the minimum clearance between the PCB and the screws in the mounting holes.
Installation 3.5.2 Clearance Clearance from the drive to any other surface (except mounting surfaces) must be a minimum of 1.25 mm (0.05 inches). 3.5.3 Ventilation The DiamondMax 17 80-160GB AT hard disk drives operate without a cooling fan, provided the base casting temperature as measured where the motor is attached to the base does not exceed 140°F (60°C).
Installation Figure 3-9 Crosswise Airflow Cooling 3.6 FOR SYSTEMS WITH AN ATA ADAPTER BOARD To install the DiamondMax 17 80-160GB AT hard disk drive in an AT-compatible system without a 40-pin ATA bus connector on its motherboard, you need a thirdparty IDE-compatible adapter board. 3.6.1 Adapter Board Installation Carefully read the manual that accompanies your adapter board before installing it. Make sure that all the jumpers are set properly and that there are no address or signal conflicts.
Installation 3.6.1.1 Connecting the Adapter Board and the Drive Use a 40-pin cable to connect the drive to the board. See figure 3-10. To connect the drive to the board: 1. Insert the 40-pin cable connector into the mating connector of the adapter board. Make sure that pin 1 of the connector matches with pin 1 on the cable. 2. Insert the other end of the cable into the header on the drive. When inserting this end of the cable, make sure that pin 1 of the cable connects to pin 1 of the drive connector. 3.
Installation 3.7 TECHNIQUES IN DRIVE CONFIGURATION 3.7.1 The 8.4-Gigabytes Barrier Newer BIOS’s allow users to configure disk drives to go beyond the 528MB barrier by using several BIOS translation schemes. However, while using these translations the BIOS using Int 13 functions are limited to 24 bits of addressing which results in another barrier at the 8.4GB capacity. To overcome this barrier a new set of Int 13 extensions are being implemented by most BIOS manufacturers.
Installation 3.8 SYSTEM STARTUP AND OPERATION Once you have installed the DiamondMax 17 80-160GB AT hard disk drive, and adapter board (if required) in the host system, you are ready to partition and format the drive for operation. To set up the drive correctly, follow these steps: 1. Power on the system. 2. Run the SETUP program. This is generally on a Diagnostics or Utilities disk, or within the system’s BIOS. Some system BIOS have an auto-detecting feature making SETUP unnecessary. 3.

Service and Support 6-2 Maxtor DiamondMax 17 80-160GB AT Hard Disk Drive
Glossary A ACCESS – (v) Read, write, or update information on some storage medium, such as a disk. (n) One of these operations. ACCESS TIME – The interval between the time a request for data is made by the system and the time the data is available from the drive. Access time includes the actual seek time, rotational latency, and command processing overhead time. See also seek, rotational latency, and overhead. ACTUATOR – Also known as the positioner.
Glossary CRC – Acronym for Cyclic Redundancy Check. An error detection code that is recorded within each sector and is used to see whether parts of a string of data are missing or erroneous. CYLINDER – On a disk drive that has more than one recording surface and heads that move to various tracks, the group of all tracks located at a given head position. The number of cylinders times the number of heads equals the number of tracks per drive. E ECC – Acronym for error correction code.
Glossary FORMATTED CAPACITY – The amount of room left to store data on the disk after the required space has been used to write sector headers, boundary definitions, and timing information generated by a format operation. All Maxtor drive capacities are expressed in formatted capacity. FORM FACTOR – The physical outer dimensions of a device as defined by industry standard. For example, most Maxtor disk drives use a 3 1/2-inch form factor. G GIGABYTE (GB) – One billion bytes (one thousand megabytes).
Glossary LOGICAL FORMAT – The logical drive geometry that appears to an AT system BIOS as defined by the drive tables and stored in CMOS. With an installation program like Disk Manager, the drive can be redefined to any logical parameters necessary to adapt to the system drive tables. LOOK AHEAD – The technique of buffering data into cache RAM by reading subsequent blocks in advance to anticipate the next request for data. The look ahead technique speeds up disk access of sequential blocks of data.
Glossary PLATTER – An disk made of metal (or other rigid material) that is mounted inside a fixed disk drive. Most drives use more than one platter mounted on a single spindle (shaft) to provide more data storage surfaces in a small package. The platter is coated with a magnetic material that is used to store data as transitions of magnetic polarity. POH – Acronym for power on hours.
Glossary SPINDLE – The center shaft of the disk upon which the drive’s platters are mounted. SPUTTER – A type of coating process used to apply the magnetic coating to some high-performance disks. In sputtering, the disks are placed in a vacuum chamber and the coating is vaporized and deposited on the disks. The resulting surface is hard, smooth, and capable of storing data at high density. Maxtor disk drives use sputtered thin film disks.
